What principles define how you live?

Dearest Gentle Reader,

It is with a full mind that your author returns for this daily prompt. Full transparency, I have been attempting to let the prompts build back up for the last week.

Needless to say, I only have this and one other open to answer in the last 30 days. Maybe January 1st, Jetpack will pick up a new prompt generator and we can resume our normal schedule.

Meanwhile, this beaut needs an answer.

Oddly enough, the answer loops right into the intro with no effort this morning.

I live my live based on the principal of allowance.

What exactly and I allowed to do compared to what I am capable of doing.
